At the mention of Father Zhao, Zhao Hongmei revealed a sad expression and said, “My dad wasn’t well last night and was hospitalized, but he’s fine now. I’ll pick him up tomorrow or the day after!”

Li Sangyu nodded without thinking much. “It’s good that Uncle is fine!”

At that moment, Li Sangyu and Zhao Hongmei heard the sound of meat being chopped in the kitchen. Zhao Hongmei put on a sweet expression again and said, “Sangyu, you’re in for a treat tonight. Official Song said he would make us roast mutton leg. Do you like roast mutton?”

Li Sangyu was about to speak, when Zhao Hongmei suddenly saw a spiritual white jade around her neck and asked curiously, “Sangyu, where did you buy this? Isn’t it really nice?”

Li Sangyu touched the jade pendant around her neck, which was a life-saving talisman given to her by her master. Her master had once calculated her fate and said that there would be a calamity in her life. If she got through it, she would be fine. If she didn’t, she would be miserable for the rest of her life. Her master didn’t know exactly what the calamity would be, so he had given her this life-saving jade talisman.

Li Sangyu had taken it seriously at the beginning, but now that she thought about it, she had already become a grand Celestial Master; how could her life be miserable?

Seeing that Zhao Hongmei really wanted it, Li Sangyu thought that this life-saving jade token was very precious to others, but was nothing to her. Without it, her master would still give her one. Moreover, she had just received a lot of jewelry from Zhao Hongmei, and she had forgotten to prepare a gift after arguing with the woman surnamed Chi at noon. So, Li Sangyu gave the jade token to Zhao Hongmei without thinking and said, “This is just a life-saving jade token to ward off evil spirits. It has no other use!”

Zhao Hongmei had been curious earlier and didn’t take Li Sangyu’s words seriously. She took the jade pendant from her and put it in the jewelry cabinet. She said to Li Sangyu, “Sangyu, okay, let’s go out and eat!”

The two walked into the dining room. There was a very lavish spread on the table, but most of it was still meat. To be honest, Li Sangyu wasn’t used to the Zhao family’s meat for some reason.

She felt that the Zhao family’s meat was different from other meat.

At that moment, the sound of a knife being sharpened came from the kitchen, and she happened to be sitting at the table facing the kitchen door. Li Sangyu followed the sound and saw Song Zhongsheng hunched over as he worked hard to sharpen the knife. For a moment, his back, which looked very normal, gave her the creeps.

Li Sangyu was lost in thought and her face turned unnaturally pale. At that moment, Song Zhongsheng turned around and came out with a gentle smile on his handsome face. “Celestial Master Li, you’re here!”

Li Sangyu was relieved. It must have been an illusion just now.

She had seen this ghost Song Zhongsheng many times. There was no black aura around him at all, so he couldn’t have taken a human life, nor was he a malicious spirit. Only then did Li Sangyu heave a sigh of relief and smile again.

At that moment, Zhao Hongmei was pleasantly surprised and happy. “Official Song, did you prepare all these dishes? Is that why you told me not to enter the kitchen just now?”

Song Zhongsheng smiled and said, “Hongmei, it’s good that you like it! By the way, the mutton leg needs to be roasted for a while. I prepared a plate first; I’ll bring it out for the two of you to try!”

When Song Zhongsheng brought it out, Zhao Hongmei took the plate with a smile and looked at the tempting roast mutton on the plate, which really stirred the appetite.

She specially placed it in front of Li Sangyu for her to try.

Li Sangyu didn’t have much of an appetite when she saw the meat on the table, but when she smelled the roasted pepper fragrance of the mutton, she immediately had an appetite. She picked up a piece with her chopsticks. Although the meat was still a bit strange, it tasted really good. There was also cumin sprinkled on it, and mixed with the smell of roast, it was very fragrant.

Not long after, she and Zhao Hongmei ate a plate. Song Zhongsheng watched them finish the plate and smiled faintly. “Shall I prepare another plate for you?”
